I finally dragged my lazy bum down to Katong Shopping Centre after hearing news that KSC may be closed indefinitely for renovation works. The Banana Pie's ranked 81 on the list of Top 100 yummy treats and described as "Singapore's best pie".
The first is easy to find and there's just this thing about KSC that completes this whole walk down memory lane. The shopfront's very much like your neighbourhood bakery, the palette tickling fragrance fills the walkway. You can literally smell your way around! As you have it, old aunties and uncles manning the place. The baking's also done inside. Quite a sight seeing rows and rows of pies!
They also sell cookies and scones but I headed straight for their signature. 3 types of pies available at $2, peach, apple and banana.
The twin delights.
The banana pie's got almond nuts sprinkled on top the pastry, with coconut and banana baked inside. Pastry's very flaky and crumbly, more of a crisp texture than the usual biscuit base I was half expecting. Not too oily infact. I'm surprised the unique combination of banana and coconut gave this pie an added flavour.
Apple pie in comparison is more ordinary, too light in terms of taste. Similar pastry.
Of the two, the banana pie is more outstanding but it's not wow. I'm not sold on the pastry.
Closed on Sundays.
